That’s why I like Vijay!: Rashmika Mandana

National crush Rashmika Mandana has once again become the talk of the town not just for her back-to-back hits, but also for her candid comments in a recent YouTube chat that have set social media abuzz. Amid ongoing rumours about her engagement with Rowdy Boy Vijay Deverakonda , Rashmika’s own words during the interview seem to have added fuel to the speculation.

Rashmika, who recently scored successes with films like Thama and The Girlfriend, opened up about her “dream boy” when a fan asked her about her ideal partner. Smiling, she replied, “My dream boy should be someone who would fight for me even if the whole world stands against us. A person who understands me deeply and sees every situation from my side. He should have a good heart, a strong personality, and the courage to take a bullet for me. I’d go to any lengths for such a man.”

She clarified that it wasn’t a movie dialogue but her real-life wish list for her future husband. Later, during a fun “Kill, Marry, Date” game, Rashmika dropped a bombshell: “I’d date the anime hero Naruto because I love his energy! But marry… Vijay Deverakonda!” The audience erupted in cheers and congratulatory shouts as Rashmika smiled and thanked them.

Earlier, reports had gone viral claiming the duo got engaged on October 3. Her playful yet suggestive comments have reignited those rumours. When asked directly, Rashmika responded mysteriously, “I’ll tell you officially when the time is right.” Buzz in the film circles suggests the couple may tie the knot in February next year.

After mesmerizing fans with their chemistry in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, the pair might just be ready to turn their reel romance into real life much to the excitement of their fans.
